The unexpected couple were a fan favourite with viewers and after finishing in third place the pair could earn over £1 million each.
Expert Nick Ede confirmed to MailOnline: ‘Although the winners of Love Island All Stars were Gabby and Casey the real winners are Curtis and Ekin Su.
‘They are now seen as UK and US celebrities in their own right and are very popular with the general public, fans of the show and owners of brands who will want to capitalise on their popularity.
‘I think that as a pair they could earn over £1 million each.’
Curtis didn’t miss a moment to show off his dance skills during his time in the villa, and coupled with Ekin’s background in performing, Nick predicts the pair will be sure to secure spots in TV shows or even pantomime.

He continued: ‘I can see them doing more and more in that arena with guest spots in TV dramas (like GK Barry in the latest Harlan Coban Netflix series).
‘They will also be able to earn a lot in pantomime and with brand endorsements and personal appearances.’
Explaining that the days of fast fashion deals are over as brands are ‘more shrewd’, Nick added: ‘I think that they will be making sure they get a return on their investments and I can see Curtis and Ekin as clear winners financially and in the popularity stakes too.’
